The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians is finalizing a Class III gaming compact with the state of Indiana, the latest in a series of history-making moves by the tribe.
Pokagon Chairman Matthew Wesaw and Indiana Gov. Eric J. Holcomb (R) will host a ceremonial signing for the agreement on Tuesday. The event takes place in South Bend, where the tribe opened another branch of the Four Winds Casino a little over three years ago.
The gaming facility is located on a 166-acre site in the city. It is the first parcel of land acquired in trust in the state of Indiana in U.S. history.
The tribe has since become a significant part of civic, cultural and economic life in South Bend, which is part of Pokagon territory. Revenues from Four Winds are shared with the local community, including $860,000 in contributions that were delivered earlier this year.
